Cole

He is a ghost in the shadows, walking unnoticed through crowds. He can slit an enemy's throat before they even realize he's there, and slip away, never to be seen again. Those few who do notice him soon forget he ever existed… and Cole isn't certain that he does exist. He is a spirit, impossibly caught between the immaterial realm of the Fade and the confusing realities of our physical world, but does that make him real? Does it make him human or a demonic pretender, as some believe?

All Cole knows for certain is that the world is full of pain and he must find his place within it. Those who wish to restore order and help the helpless will find him a strange but unwavering ally. Those who use their power for selfish reasons may never see Cole again—if they remember that he was there to begin with.

Cole Location

If you chose to ally with the Templars in Champions of the Just, Cole appears in the nightmare world and assists you with the Envy Demon. He will then be in the War Room in Haven, where you can recruit him. If you chose to ally with the Rebel Mages, you will not meet Cole until Haven is attacked by Corypheus, as Cole will be the one to arrive to warn you of the attack. Once the Inquisition is moved to Skyhold, he can be recruited if talked to in the Courtyard.
